1 Assessment Capable Learners at Clevedon School Rationale At Clevedon School we are striving to improve our students assessment capability, because research tells us that children who are assessment capable are more likely to achieve. The various elements that help develop assessment capability, such as those listed below, are ones that according to Professor John Hattie s research, have the highest effect size on achievement. Elements that influence students assessment capability Teachers assessment capability Clarity of expectations (for the teacher, therefore for the student) Understanding of what progress looks like (for both teachers and students) Use of exemplars to assist in clarity of expectations (including worked examples - not just posters on a wall) Sharing of, and the understanding of assessment data by students Feedback from teacher and peers Students ability to to know: Where am I going? What are my goals? How am I going? What progress is being made towards the goal? Where to next? What activities need to be undertaken next to better progress?
2 In the first year of school What does an assessment capable learner sound like? What is it that an assessment capable learner can do? What specific teaching should be evident? What do the classroom walls look like in order to promote students assessment capability? They say, I am learning to e.g I am learning to point my finger to the words when I read I can. Show evidence in work, Here is a full stop. Learning Intentions shared and Success criteria co-constructed Visible learning environment - reading levels/writing levels/maths levels are displayed so that students are clear about where they are at and where to next Say what their goal is e.g. I need to remember my finger spaces in my writing. I am working on.. Show which writing tractor/reading planet/maths lilypad that they are on Opportunities for students to self and buddy assess. Child friendly wall displays that children can manipulate and move levels themselves. Say what level they are working at. E.g I m on the red tractor and my goal is to hold what my idea in my head Co-construct success criteria Reflect during lessons on how they are going. Opportunities to refer back to LI and SCs to remind students what their focus is. Exemplars displayed - where we are at and where to next - what are we aiming for? Say what their next steps are. E.g To move to the next level in reading I need to stop when I make a mistake and reread Uses shared language of learning. Understand what their LI and SC mean. Explicit teaching that It is ok to make mistakes/circle a sad face etc because it means we are learning! Child speak LIs and SCs that students can easily talk about and refer back to. Uses the language of learning. My Learning intention is My success criteria is Self and peer assess at a basic level. Teacher Modelling/ use of exemplars so that students are clear on where they are going and what is expected. Rubrics are displayed in child speak. Can describe the characteristics of a good learner. Learner observer - notice who is demonstrating learner dispositions and how they are doing so. Using rubrics to self assess. Teaching students to use a rubric and share where they are at and where to next. Photos/worked examples of children doing the right thing with learning intentions and success criteria attached. Can describe which learner disposition they are using in different areas of learning. Teach children how to identify success criteria in their own learning. Learning wall - Learner dispositions are displayed and examples of students showing these in action. Teach children how to give feedback/feedforward. Good student vs good learner displayed.
